I've traveled quite a bit throughout my life so far, but sports road trips are always my favorite. There are lots of historic sporting history scattered throughout the country that is definitely worth the gas, stress, and money.

Louisville, Kentucky

There are multiple cool sports experiences around the city, including Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby (come on 11!), the Muhammed Ali Museum, and the Louisville Slugger factory. Also, the Cincinnati Reds triple-a affiliate is based in Louisville, the Louisville Bats. If there's anything I can get behind, it's an entire factory of baseball bats.

Atlanta, Georgia

Many wouldn't expect Atlanta to be as large of a sports capital that it is, but the city is a sports heaven. The Centennial Olympic Park is a reminder of the 1996 summer Olympics and is a vast park in the middle of the city. Atlanta also hosts the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl every January, inside the famed Georgia Dome, which is also the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The College Football Hall of Fame is located in downtown and is three stories of football heaven.

New York


This one is very well known, but the city is the biggest sports market in the world. Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, is one of the nicest ballparks in the league (big fan of Mr. Met). There's also Madison Square Garden, which is one of the most significant sporting locations in the world. Yankee Stadium and MetLife Stadium also provide a solid atmosphere for vital teams to their respective leagues. The MLB is also headquartered in New York. The US Open (tennis) and the Belmont Stakes also take place in New York.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

You won't want to forget your passport for this one. The NHL is headquartered in Toronto, which is also the home to the most successful original six franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Hockey Hall of Fame is also located in the city and is a must for all hockey fans. The Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors also create a fun atmosphere for any sports fan.

Boston, Massachusetts

As much as I don't like the Boston Bruins, the city is well-known for being a sports paradise. The New England Patriots are just a short distance away, and Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is a baseball fans' dream. The Bruins and Celtics also split use of TD Garden Arena, and are always successful and make deep runs into the playoffs.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
